Beach Dreaming Tablescape


Welcome to Red Couch Recipes.  I hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend.  We spent it in the southern part of our state where it was sunny and warm -- palm trees, but no ocean.



Sand Hollow State Park is a good substitute -- I love to swim in lakes.



So today I bring to you a simple beachy table. 
Just a simple fish plate on a turqoise plate.


I took some beachy elements from my daughter's dresser -- the large glass shell and the crab.


I filled a glass candle holder with some shells, glass pebbles, and a candle.


I love these new "everyday" glasses I was given by my family for Mother's Day.  Here is my "bubble glass" view.


Just another side view.


Thanks for coming by my Red Couch to view my Beachy Tablescape -- the next best thing when you don't have a beach.

    Beautiful table, Joni. I love turquoise. BTW, I am in love with your state, just from the few blogs such as yours, Julie Harward, and Art & Alfalfa. I can't wait to visit one day.

    I love beachy tablescapes, but I always seem to veer away from them because I don't really prepare any fish recipes....well tuna salad and shrimp cocktail are in my repitoire...Sweet Mister doesn't eat fish...bummer. Anyway, your color choices sing beautifully of the sea and sand...I like it! Thank you for sharing your lovely design...by the sea or not. Cherry Kay

    I noticed your new glasses right away Joni, too fun! Looks like you had a beautiful Memorial Day! It's nice to set a pretty table, even on vaca. I remember a lady growing zinnias in Cape May, I'd stop and pick up a $2 bouquet for the table all the time:@)

    I love your beach inspired table Joni, especially those aqua fish plates. I've been looking for fish dinner plates but I've not had any luck so far...and all the colors are so soothing... loved it. the shell collection is awesome... I love beach decor.. reminds me of the ocean so much.Thanks for stopping by with your lovely comment... and yes those are Currier and Ives "Old Gristmill" pattern dinner plates manufactured by Royal China.... I love 'em..the hubs and I got it from a country auction we attended years back. Have a great weekend! Come and visit soon, would love to have you.~Poppy
